Architectural Renders of Temporary Commons

The Palace of Westminster, home to the House of Commons and the House
of Lords, is literally falling down. Putting aside philosophical
musings about whether this is a reflection on the perilous state of our
democracy, the situation has become so severe that MPs are going to have
to move out.

I take some dark pleasure from imagining specific MPs having to beg
for hot desks around central London like many local government workers
now do, but that wasn’t ever going to happen. Instead, they’ll have to
slum it out in these temporary digs:

A shame that they didn’t have the option shake-up the layout a bit – or to move it out of London – but I rather like it.
